Next Fresh Meat Recruitment!!!

The next Fresh Meat Recruitment happens on May 7th, 2012!!!

Do you want to get in shape? Meet women that teach our children, run businesses, and shape our community by day and kick ass by night? Have you seen us play and thought Oh man,  I want to do that! Well, you can and you should. As Kill’er Bee puts it, You can be big, small, thin, thick. You don’t even have to know how to skate!

(The Ark Valley High Rollers will take Fresh Meat of all ages! No, not really. Must be 18 and older to play….)

So just come out and try some skates on, meet our senior skaters, learn some rules, listen to our triumphs. Fresh meat go through a 12-week training program with practice every Monday night for newbies, and an opportunity to join and/or watch senior skaters practice and scrimmage on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Just come at least once and see if you don’t get hooked.

 Visit our webpage for more details on how to get started, requirements, and contact information.

Thank you Deerhammer Distillery.

The Ark Valley High Rollers would like to hugely thank Deerhammer Distillery in Buena Vista for hosting our Whiskey and Women Event last night.

We had sweet, cozy places to kickback, impeccable service, cake, and oh my gosh, divine whiskey drinks like the Moscow Mule Deer, and Green Grind, and of course our own special drink for the night, The High Roller.

Good fun was had by all. Get yourself to the Distillery and check it out, and then get yourself to the Chaffee County Fairgrounds on May 12 and watch our next bout against the Castle Rock ‘n’ Rollers.

Checkin’ in…

In all our swarm of league activities, fundraisers, and events, we just wanted to remind everybody that really, this is about practice, practice and more practice to be the best skaters we can be.


And refs who come every week to make our scrimmages happen and call our (many) penalties.

And listening to our practice coaches tell us how to skate better, faster and smarter.


And meditating, with war paint.


 

 

 

 


We had somebody come to their first bout recently and was surprised because as they told us “I thought it was going to be a performance!” And we laughed, although at this point we might also have been a little shocked, because by now we thought most people understood that this is a sport, a team, and one that requires acute athletic dexterity, speed, skill, and a lot of practice to get creamed by a fellow skater and still get up and keep moving around that track and making the points happen.

We’re just saying.
